TP lines of action the previous Saeima identified the need to take the burdens of public administration sectors - agriculture, education, home affairs, finance and economics.

Our developed and successfully implemented tax cuts and budget policies, as well as the TP-up of teacher salary enhancement program, reminding us of the great responsibility to think about how difficult the work will continue.

Our political offer key points is to specify the formula for 3 +4.

Health. Wages. Taxes. The three tasks whose resolution mechanisms are clear and have the professional capacity of our ministers.

Unemployment. Education. Agriculture. Regional economic development. The four directions, which affects a range of macroeconomic and foreign-policy factors, and the results of which will depend not only on the TP, but also of our political partners, qualifications, aptitude and desire to address these concerns.

Health

We believe that the health care system is unjust, ineffective and often ridiculous. It has to change.

Health care financing cancel unpredictable and difficult to administrate earmarked tax scheme. Health care must be stable, the direct budget funding.

State-guaranteed salaries of family doctors nodalīsim a separate budget item, to not affect the funding of patient examinations. Family doctor's salary will reach at least 250 lats.

In remote rural areas they will service the GP home visits.

Health Insurance system itself has not supported and must be eliminated.

Introducing a rigorous tendering procedure for public-funded medicines purchased.

Terminate the bull medication system.

Starting of the hospital building renovation and restoration program.

Based on our annual gross national product growth forecast of 6%, the subsequent four years of providing health care funding increase of 10% annually.

Salary

Continue the teaching staff salary improvement program to the next four years, again by half the average increase in pay.

Police will continue to increase, which includes the police salary increases.

By concentrating all the attention and efforts of health system reorganization, start the process of medical personnel and family doctors salary increases.

Create the conditions for growth in average wages in other areas.

The minimum wage increase over four years to 95 lats.

Taxes

Completion of our finance ministers proposed tax cuts are passed both skeptics and the test of time and ineffective.

We are a continuation of this policy. More money for taxpayers, both natural and legal persons.

Corporate income tax will be reduced to 10% in 2004. year.

More money left to their own people. It is our tax policy principles.

We support the increased tax-free minimum citizens. During the four years it should reach 60 latu limit for each worker, saving 117 lats, but for families with three children from 409 lats a year personal income tax.
TP expanded electoral program also includes a number of other national development fundamentally important positions:
In joining the EU, we will require a subsidy to farmers in full, and production quotas for domestic consumption levels.

Work resourceful rural people by introducing the transport benefits.

Give farmers the possibility of early retirement from 55 years of age.

Will continue our momentum siltināšanu schools and school building repairs.

We have a professional army and the three-month compulsory military training for all.

We see the need for the three mandatory tests on completion of secondary school: in English, mathematics and history.

Improve the judicial process in order to ensure a simple and shorter in civil proceedings, and fairly quick decision-making.
These points do not, and does not address all of the TA program, but points to our desire to avoid general, an empty slogan, and our willingness to continue to assume responsibility directly for the same difficult questions.
